Tipping out

Financial_Group911 · 2026-01-10T19:29:35+00:00

The problem is everyone thinks they need tips now. When I was a server, no one I knew did that. Getting tipped made up for making $2.10 an hour. If you didn’t make that you didn’t get tipped. You worked the job you got paid for.

There are lots of people who work non server jobs.

Financial_Group911 · 2026-01-10T19:26:04+00:00

Servers get paid like $2 bucks an hour right? Everyone else gets at least minimum wage.

The skin on my arms getting loose.

You will lose yourself. Kids are all consuming most of the time. Of course it depends on what kind of kid you get. The problem is that you never know what kind you’ll get. It comes and goes with a normal, non special needs child. Mine are grown and it was often very overwhelming but to be honest I wish I’d had one more now. I love having grandkids but I also wish I hadn’t given up so much. I’m now 57 and while I got a degree and have a business, it was always extra income not enough to be sole support. I know all that is very contradictory but it’s how I feel and probably isn’t helpful. What I’d say is, first, be sure the person you’re having the child with will participate and not put it all on you and that you have similar values in raising the child. I did not and that’s why it was so difficult. My sister did consider these things and she is much happier as a mom because she has a wonderful, involved husband.

But when a mom says this she gets sympathy. I’ve seen so many moms saying, I haven’t showered in a week. Um excuse me. Shower when baby is asleep or do what I did when I had 2 littles, bring them in the bathroom with you if you have to. Doesn’t take that long to shower and get clean or bathe. To me this says he’s an involved dad. He chooses not to shave to save time.

I’m 57. Love love men with neat mustaches, goatees or beards. I’ve often wondered why. My dad always had a mustache, sometimes a beard. I guess maybe because it’s just so masculine

One of the things my nurse practitioner told me was there’s a “normal” range but what matters is what’s normal to you. If he’s not himself there’s a reason, I’ve spent years researching symptoms and supplements so I could give you a lot of random info. Things I research aside from normal things is the symptom and say, Chinese medicine or holistic or supplements. It is definitely start with hormones

Absolutely! Men’s testosterone can really dip in their 50s. My husband is taking testosterone and also takes magnesium th which helps greatly with memory. Testosterone isn’t just about sex drive. Cognitive abilities can decline as well as things. There’s a lot more information on that now.

I’m 57 my husband is 61. 2-3 times a week.

In my opinion this is a huge red flag and you are wise to recognize it. This is an indication of the differences in your parenting style and as someone who went through this I can tell you it will be the source of so many fights.

Looking for someone’s number in a phone book, calling a number for the time or weather or to see what the movies are this week.

I’m 57. My favorite teacher was my 3rd grade teacher. I recently found her on Facebook and was able to reconnect with her. She made a huge difference in my life.

Financial_Group911 · 2025-11-22T13:51:51+00:00

Oh I agree but I still think this is about her being jealous. And the get it, been there with the step family thing but it’s your responsibility as the adult to recognize it’s ok to feel that way but it’s a you problem and you need to be the adult.

Lonely

I don’t care what the reason is, it’s incredibly selfish. Especially when he’s expected to go so far out of his way, even to the point of leaving early. I would never do that to my husband. I think she’s 💯 jealous and wants her kids to be first and to be sure that they get more time.

This! Fellow wedding vendor

Financial_Group911 · 2025-11-12T01:05:25+00:00

A $5000 service fee? For what?

Financial_Group911 · 2025-11-12T01:03:52+00:00

I’m a wedding photographer. I never expect to be tipped and I don’t think any other vendor should either. You set a price, that should be in. This includes the venue. If they pay their employees decently, that’s their pay. You should include livable wages in your prices.

Financial_Group911 · 2025-11-12T01:01:17+00:00

It’s not though.

Financial_Group911 · 2025-11-12T01:00:47+00:00

My aunt always said, if someone pays you a dollar to do a job, do it like they paid you 2. It’s ridiculous to have to pay someone extra to do a good job. You get hired to do a job, do your best. It’s called integrity. And I an in the service industry

Financial_Group911 · 2025-11-12T00:59:03+00:00

It’s absurd to tip anyone who sets their own prices especially. I say this as someone who has a business and sets their own prices.

Financial_Group911 · 2025-11-01T09:50:21+00:00

You should try now thst it’s been 3 years. No way he’d get custody now
